Culture project notes
-Why do I have a zero?? Here are the common reasons. Please investigate on your end to figure out what happened. 1. Did not share the required documents with Mr. Vogt, 2. Did not name documents correctly(see 9/10 homework), therefore the document appears to have not been turned in, even though you did actually complete it, 3. Did not put name/hour on visual, 4. Did not give Mr. Vogt rights to edit document, therefore not allowing him to enter comments and your grade, 5. You didn't actually do any of the project(this is the least common, generally something from #1-4 above has occurred.
-What do I do now?? Simply correct the problem, send an email to Mr. Vogt's Franklin Gmail account letting him know what happened.
-Am I penalized? No. All assignments that were turned in correctly will be graded first, so you might have to wait a little longer, but no grade deduction will occur. If the same issue continues to happen, Mr. Vogt will talk to you so we can figure out how to avoid the problem in the first place.
-Make sure docs are shared correctly for culture project: project document should be named: "hour lastname culture project", visuals should be named "hour lastname culture visuals"
